Champions League draw: Barcelona to face PSG and Manchester City

Is there an intern locked in one of those weird office 'pods' with hundreds of scrunched up pieces of paper and a pen struggling to work out the dates of the Champions League games? A computer does the initial draw in a fraction of a second. Over 40 hours pass and still no confirmed dates?

Liverpool have been handed the easiest Champions League draw of any Premier League side. 👀 Man City? The toughest. 📊 We’ve ranked every team’s league-phase fixture list using the Opta Power Rankings. Who came out best and who got the short straw? Full analysis below 👇

Seems bonkers that we’ve got a Champions League game in 10-11 days time and we don’t know if it’s home or away or against who. How are away fans meant to plan flights, days off work etc?

Four goals up. Out of the Champions League.Alan: that's not variance, that's bad planning — and the pattern has cost Celtic up to £300m.The LASK collapse, the Europa League draw ranked by Elo, and a Falkirk preview. New Extra Time below👇 @celticbynumbers.bsky.social @jucojames.bsky.social

Who is the pomp and ceremony of the Champions League draw for?! Football fans don't care about this, get on with it! #AVFC #UCL Full video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq4x...

Just a reminder at the time of the league split last they were gushing about potential automatic qualification for the Champions League! 😂 #CelticFC

Benfica 0 Marseille 0 Ferencvaros 3 Union SG 1 Celta Vigo 1 Omonoia 3 Besiktas 1 Torrense 3 12pts That's my prediction with the squad we have at this moment. Agree? #Celticfc

#Celticfc - trying to watch game from work but it keeps freezing. Sad to say it's not really bothering me. Tuesday still fresh in the mind I guess. Saw a stat saying 12 European victories in 86 matches in last 10 years. No serious club would take that lying down.

The Champions League draw means about as much as the draw for the provincial football championships. Forget the hooh hah about the "importance of making the top eight." Man City, Chelsea and Spurs all made it last year and went straight out in the last 16. PSG didn't make it at all.

I hope so mate, it’s just depressing that we leave everything so late, why not get our targets signed earlier and bedded into the squad and help us qualify for the champions league, rather than gamble with the CL prize money year in year out.

Why use an error-extruding chatbot to tell you which Champions League teams are harder or easier? UEFA calculates / publishes the rankings (without needing AI) then chatbots use those rankings but introduce hallucinations/errors. I don't understand the AI fascination. www.uefa.com/nationalasso...
